I'm also resorting to parsing human-readable stdout from some of those tools in my scripts ... Probably that machine-readable format would turn out to be JSON of some kind? It seems to be the standard for this interoperability stuff now, and there's good support for bash (jq), python (json from stdlib), and all kinds of other languages.
